Singer Taylor Dayne will perform April 14 in T.O.

Big hair? Check. Big voice? Certainly. Big deal? To the millions who bought Taylor Dayne records over the years, you betcha. The vehicle for that hair and voice, a fixture on the dance charts in the late '80s and early '90s, will roll into the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza for a Saturday night performance.Saturday's show, "Tell It to My Heart: Up Close and Personal with Taylor Dayne," directed by Steve Rothman, is a concert along with an opportunity for Dayne to talk candidly about her trials and triumphs as a pop star. "Star Search" winning singer Jake Simpson will provide backup vocals.

Taylor Dayne scored her first Billboard Top 10 hit with the 1987 single "Tell It to My Heart." "This marks my 26th year of longevity and desire," she says.

Taylor Dayne has appeared on the big screen with Warren Beatty and performed onstage in the Elton John musical "Aida," but her favorite acting role so far has been in the movie "Telling of the Shoes." The indie film, which will be shown at festivals later this year, is about an alcohol-fueled dinner party that takes a dark turn.
